Diagram of a panicle. In botany, a panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. [1] Some authors distinguish it from a compound spike inflorescence, by requiring that the flowers (and fruit) be pedicellate (having a single stem per flower). The branches of a panicle are often racemes. A panicle may have determinate or indeterminate growth.
The family Poaceae has a peculiar inflorescence of small spikes organised in panicles or spikes that are usually simply and improperly referred to as spike and panicle. The genus Ficus ( Moraceae ) has an inflorescence called a hypanthodium, which bears numerous flowers on the inside of a convex or involuted compound receptacle. [ 11 ]
The ellipsoid or pyramidal panicle is 3–7 cm (1.2–2.8 in) high, with lower fascicles of two to five branches. Its spikelets have short pedicels and are borne on the lower half of the branches, growing 4.5–6.5 mm (0.18–0.26 in) long.

Spiciform panicle that usually reaches 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet) in height, but has a maximum recorded height of 8 meters (26 feet). The total height of the plant when blooming may reach 15 meters (49 feet). The stem at the base of the inflorescence may be 60–90 cm (24–35 in) in height and a very thick 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in). [17]
Corymbium is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family comprising nine species. It is the only genus in the subfamily Corymbioideae and the tribe Corymbieae. [2] [3] The species have leaves with parallel veins, strongly reminiscent of monocots, in a rosette and compounded inflorescences may be compact or loosely composed racemes, panicles or corymbs.
The inflorescence is a lax to dense deltoid or a dense cylindrical panicle, with a herbaceous, cylindrical to angular axis that is covered in short hairs which become glandular nearer to the tips. The bracts in the inflorescence have a pointy tip, are usually glandularly hairy, and are dry, brown and papery in three species and herbaceous in W ...
The inflorescence of Phalaenopsis ranges from arching to suberect, raceme or panicle, up to 13 inches (33 cm) long and many-flowered, with ovate to hooded bracts up to 0.2 inches (0.51 cm) long, appearing on the stem which emerges between the leaves.
